What is the role of re-enforcing mesh in plastering?
Keep in mind, I'm not talking about the lathe, which is shown in this image.
I'm talking about the mesh, shown in this image.
When is a re-enforcing mesh required? Any use for it in a three layer process, using structolite and a finishing plaster?
How is it used?
Which material of mesh is preferred, for which applications?
I've seen plastic, fiberglass, and metal meshes. The latter looks like a much lighter weight version of metal lathe.
